Kim Kardashian West: The Marilyn Monroe of our generation?
Let's be honest, when Kim Kardashian came on the scene in 2007, we were all astonished by her exotic beauty. She's got a perfect bum, face, lips, breasts, figure etc. furthermore, no one can deny that she is the sexiest woman alive; the envy of all women and the lust of all men. Her beauty transcends sexuality and religion. She's been the media's faborite subject for almost 9 years now and she's as famous as ever. She's beaten Paris Hilton to the title of 'most successful socialite ever' a long time ago and she has since then covered the most prestigious fashion magazines and broken the internet. Even while pregnant, her beauty shines as she's undeniably the sexiest pregnant woman alive but she's very humble about it. Just like Marilyn's photographs, Kim's selfies are so iconic that she managed to put out a successful coffee table book made solely out of them. She made selfying happen that even the city of London built a wax figure to celebrate this fact. And if that's not all she has enough brains, class, empathy, and love for this entire world. Is she the undisputed Marilyn Monroe of our times or is she an icon on her own?
She is. And I lover her tbh. People who trash her don't know anything about her. And since King Kanye is really in love with her I can't hate her anyway...
Nope.
What Kim is doing is what has been done before her it's just that she's taking more elements and her team is branding it better.
What Marilyn did wasn't done before her?
On top of that I guess there are many that classify Marilyn in a less than stellar way but her flaws were exposed. Kim's flaws are more calculated.
Overall, Marilyn played herself because she sold her soul for fame when she actually was a legitimately talented actress; however, by selling her soul NO ONE appreciated or recognized her talents because they were overshadowed by her controversy and being a sex symbol.
Kim is just capitalizing off of what's been done in the past but she has a family brand to do the heavy lifting as it pertains to the entertainment side. There was one point where her family members were more entertaining than she is as a solo star and even she admitted it.
It's also disrespectful to cheapen Marilyn's legacy by comparing her to Kim Kardashian or vice versa.
One was brazen, ballsy and one of a kind and the other is very much a product of what the current generation is entertained by.
Even at her worst, Marilyn will always be regarded more than Kim because Marilyn actually had talent even if it was overshadowed in its duration and then later recognized after her death.
I think it's more of a lazy comparison and a shallow one that almost glorifies Kim as a guide to being a sex symbol and justifying her lack of a talent outside of being famous for being famous...as if Marilyn had no skill whatsoever and that's the real tragedy is that a misinformed group of people will actually believe that mess
That said, I'm not anti kardashian. If people are willing to invest, they get money, gurls.
She is. And I lover her tbh. People who trash her don't know anything about her. And since King Kanye is really in love with her I can't hate her anyway...
Kanye is truly God which is befitting for Kim who is a modern day saint. I can't wait til December the 25th when the son of God will be born. Spread the gospel #Yeezus2020
